Maximum Audio Power. Minimum Fuss

Recording
SOUND FORGE Pro 12 features a fresh, new recording interface that gives you a complete overview of your projects at all times. As such, you can monitor all of your 32 channels of recorded audio, master, edit and process your work, all within one intuitive workspace.

Audio Editing
Get complete flexibility with SOUND FORGE Pro 12. Any audio format can be opened and processed, from any source, all within the software's ultra-precise multitrack environment. Surround-sound mixes and video soundtracks can also be edited with ease.

Postproduction
Create the perfect master, for any situation. SOUND FORGE Pro 12 features high-end signal-processing tools and premier effects from a range of professional DSP developers to allow you to create perfect, high-resolution masters for broadcast, CD or streaming.

Flexible Audio Processing
SOUND FORGE Pro 12 has advanced editing and processing tools for any task. High end plug-ins from SEQUOIA repair and restore audio, while the essentialFX and Analogue Modelling suites offer all the mixing and classic effects you need. Wave Hammer 2.0 is a high-quality mastering solution and SpectraLayers Pro 5 offers precise visual editing for everything from repair to sound design.

Game Sound Design
Realistic game soundtracks often require entire libraries of custom sound effects. SOUND FORGE Pro 12 makes it easy not only to create such libraries but to process them to match the soundtrack's musical tonality. You can use pitch shift to match sections of the library to the key, add reverb to help the effects blend, or pan groups of effects to create space, or move groups of effects within a surround sound environment to make the game feel ultra realistic.

New in SOUND FORGE Pro Suite

64-bit version
Even the most high-end, professional audio processing tasks can be handled with ease in SOUND FORGE Pro 12. It features an all-new 64-bit architecture which utilises all available computer power to run large and complex projects, latency free.

VST3 effect support
SOUND FORGE Pro 12 features full effect support for the VST3 standard. This opens up a whole new world for thousands of plug-in effects and instruments from third-party developers. VST3 also ensures an improved audio performance and maximum efficiency for minimum CPU usage.

New effects
SOUND FORGE Pro 12 comes with three great noise-reduction tools taken from the advanced audio broadcast package, SEQUOIA: DeClicker/DeCrackler, which removes vinyl-type clicks and crackles, DeClipper, which repairs digital and analogue artefacts, and DeHisser, which removes regular, low-level white noise.

SpectraLayers Pro
Advanced Sound Design Software

SpectraLayers Pro is a revolutionary 3D spectral editing tool that transforms sound into multidimensional layers creating a unique world of visual audio data. The frequency spectrum of a layer can be used as a cast for a second layer - a neat solution for creative mixing and sophisticated sound design. You can transpose, extract and optimize sounds in ways never imagined thanks to this unique layer concept. SpectraLayers Pro seamlessly integrates with SOUND FORGE Pro for endless creative possibilities.

Mixing with Spectral Casting
Spectral Casting and Molding open up new, unexplored worlds of audio processing possibilities. Use these cutting-edge features to set the spectral impression of one layer as a cast or mold and then apply it directly into the spectrum of a second layer.

Sound design with Spectral Molding
Spectral Molding is an unbelievably inspiring trip into a universe of out-of-this-world sounds. The technology enables you to transfer spectral characteristics between recordings for truly creative sound design. For example, imagine a guitar recording with the acoustic texture of vocals!

Cleaning with acoustic fingerprints
Noises that vary in character can be reduced and removed with noise prints that can be generated for each noise type. SpectraLayers allows you to perform noise print-based noise reduction using customized noise prints containing multiple frequency bands of any width.

All The Mixing and Mastering Effects You Need
SOUND FORGE Pro 12 Suite also includes seven mixing and mastering effect plug-ins and suites that include iZotope Ozone Elements 8, iZotope RX Elements, essentialFX Suite, Vandal, Analogue Modelling Suite, VariVerb II and Vintage Effects Suite.

Based on the latest artificial intelligence technology, the voice activity detection feature detects lead vocals and choruses.

With clear visualizations, the "sensAI SINGING VAD" is an excellent tool which provides you with an overview of complex mix projects - like for example when producing jingles or teasers. VAD also excels in indexing extensive libraries efficiently as well as professional DJing.

DDP export
DDP masters are mastered CDs that are digital data provided with a checksum that are sent to the pressing plant - for an audio CD production that is absolutely free of errors. Your high-quality finished master is resistant to generation loss thanks to duplication and can be easily archived. In the new SOUND FORGE Pro 12, export the Disc Description Protocol Master and your discs are ready for pressing.
